iOS 4.1 Daylight Saving Time Bug Strikes Europe

My alarm woke me up a hour earlier and I live in the US (MN). I set it for 5:50am and it went off at 4:50am. I re set it for 6:10am and it went off at 6:10am.
 
Yep happened to me too. Luckily I was already awake or else i would of been late for work. :mad:
 
Unacceptable

Apple really needs to do better job at catching these issues, why so many problems with simple little things like this. :confused:
 
I am confused how it is impacting people here int he US when there has not been a daylight savings time change?

I have my alarms set to go off M-F and have had no issues at all. I expect an issue next week, but untuil then, my alarm works fine.

But I concur, this is sloppy and takes away a critical functionality of the phone that Apple needs to deal with.

Geez, Apple, just put out a 15kb patch and fix this already. This has been a known bug for 3 weeks. Why wait until it hits the mainstream media and there's a mess to explain?
 
Apple leading the way as usual ;)

Not Apple's fault. DST's unneeded complexity is to blame! :p No seriously, I'm all for getting rid of it :mad:
 
Woke up at 5:14am EST today instead of 6:14amEST, which was what my alarm was.

I am in the US.
iPhone 4
Not jail broken
updated to 4.1
Synced practically every other day.
 
"We were SHOCKED to find that the formula we were using to calculate Daylight Savings Time was completely wrong." - S. Jobs
 
It made me chuckle when I thought about all Apple employees in Curpertino turning up for work an hour late next Monday after the US ends DST - maybe Apple will take notice then :p
 
When Apple starts impacting real people's lives in real ways they may lose some of their luster. I would be right on top of this if I were Apple.

- DST bug
- iPhoto data loss
- Time Machine issues

When you start losing people's data and job security, all of a sudden it doesn't matter how magical your device is.

When 10.6 rolls around I hope they keep 10.5.x as the primary OS and let folks OPTIONALLY boot into 10.6 (or make 10.6 calls) for tasks specific to it while stability issues are worked out through 10.6.3 at least.

Can we agree 10.5 wasn't really stable till .4 or .5? I want my main computer to be stable enough for grandma to use. That way it annoys ME less.

Rocketman
 
I'm sure the Kool-aid drinkers will somehow find a way to not blame Apple Consumer Electronics (ACE) over this.

[apple_koolaid_drinker]You know who is to blame here? Time, yes time. How dare it continue without consulting Apple first. Also, its crazy to even think that three weeks is enough time to push out an update to fix this, I'm sure it will take months to test and for Apple to get it to us. They are so good at OSes, that they make sure it is 100% right, and we all know how complex it is to fix such a code error. Kudos to Apple. [/apple_koolaid_drinker]
 
Daylight Savings Time is idiotic. I guess Apple needs to lead the world by the nose to get things corrected again.
